Chapter 726 The Great Line
Eastern Region-- The Battleground
A few hours had passed since the fleet of invaders fled. That short battle left 4,000 dead and more than 7,000 seriously injured soldiers, Immediately after the fleet left, the soldiers began carrying their colleagues and running with them toward the two field hospitals to rescue them, but due to the severity of the injuries and the number of the injured thought it would take time, so they set up a camp at the spot to protect their colleagues...
Of course, they can't use the instant teleportation arrays to return. Even if they were on the same planet, they would still burn a lot of energy transporting those many men back and forth, so when going back to their posts, they would have to walk.
There were many dead, more wounded, and a long road ahead of them... And yet their morale was high touching the sky.
They forced invaders coming from another world to retreat in front of them, and they wounded their general!!
Of course, Jabba didn't see it that way, "DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT!" Even after two hours had passed, he was still standing there, looking at the horizon, replaying the events in his head, and cursing every moment.
"You're being too hard on yourself…" Orzon came up from behind him and patted Jabba on the shoulder, "What did you expect from your first fight against an Empire that specializes in planetary conquest? In fact, I couldn't have asked for a better outcome.."
"Didn't you hear him? He said he would bring double that army and come back for revenge!" Jabba pointed toward the horizon
"We can still fight them even if it's true, our soldiers are numerous and our hearts are firm!" Orzun replied calmly, after the process of unifying the Eastern Region and training the soldiers, the sect's actual army numbers were enough to shock anyone, of course, they didn't have more Martial Emperors, But if they won the ground battle, the army can help the sect's seventy Martial Emperors win their battle.
"What about those 30 fleets then? Can we handle those too?!" Jabba clenched his fists, just thinking about the sight of the sky with all those ships making his defeat a little dull
"...He might be lying." Orzon looked to the side
"No it wasn't a lie, I could tell just by looking, we should have expected this from a Planetary Empire anyway. The soldiers are happy because we made them withdraw? How stupid! They were in our hands and we let them escape, we should have eliminated this group here but we let them keep their strength intact... Dammit!!" Jabba's nerves twitched slightly with anger, "...We are too weak, Orzon, too weak... We must increase our strength even more or the entire planet will be lost. If we do not do something, who will?"
"Sect Master," at that moment another Emperor came walking over and saluted Jabba and then nodded to Orzun, "A message has come from the scouts of the Great Line. Perhaps you should hear it."
"What's going on? Did the enemies leave some spies behind? Kill them all or just ignore them!" Jabba waved unconcernedly, his focus not being on these small things at the moment
"No, sect master, they are saying that huge numbers of residents of the central region have begun to enter the Great Line between our regions. There is no approximate number currently, but there are at least hundreds of millions, and the number is still increasing."
Jabba looked at that elder slowly, even Orzon looked shocked, "Hundreds of residents coming from the Central Region?"
Jabba did not wait for the elder, but rather directly took out a live observation array and set the coordinates of the border with the central region, and a strange scene appeared before them...
The *hundreds of millions* that the elders mentioned was indeed just an approximate number. The land was completely filled with people and more and more of them continued to appear in the frame with every passing second.
When Jabba looked closer to the picture, he found that these people were divided into small families, each family from 3 to 20 members, and in each family there was at least one soldier who used the laws, leading the way for them and eliminating any danger he saw.
"Those soldiers.." Orzun muttered
"Are these all the residents of the central region?!" Even the elder who came to deliver the report opened his eyes to the end of them, "What is happening here? Why are they all fleeing to us at the same time?"
"If they continue to enter the Great Line like this, I fear that these soldiers will form an army no less than our current army... Those soldiers who participated in the training battles against the Vanguard spaceship for more than a year, all of them participated in wars against Martial Emperors and can be considered elites, They are also armed with divine weapons ... Even without Martial Emperors among them, the strength of our army will almost double if they joined us!"
"...Look what's happening at the Great Line itself." Jabba pointed towards the front row, a large number of Sages appeared in golden armor, attacking anything they saw.
To cross the border, you must cross hundreds of kilometers of beasts, poisonous gas, swamps full of venomous creatures, quicksand, and all the dangers that a mind can imagine.
But it has never happened that this large number of people crossed the line at once... In this way, if they find a beast, they will kill it, if they find a poisoned gas, they will inhale it all, if they find swamps, they will drink its water and roast its venomous creatures, if they find quicksand, they will turn into solid rocks simply by urinating on them!
They are changing the nature of the place... This point of the Great Line will become a safe path forever!
The elder who specializes in correspondence was astonished by what he saw, until he received a call that interrupted his concentration, and his facial expression changed from astonishment to shock, "Sect Master, put in the array the coordinates of our eastern maritime Great Line quickly!!"
Jabba furrowed his eyebrows slightly. The eastern Great Line is a deep ocean with nothing behind it except the western region. Because of the vastness and turmoil of the ocean and the abundance of dangers and huge sea beasts in it, these borders are mostly ignored, It is usually considered a dangerous place where sea beasts waves come from and one must be careful of, but no one sees it as a Great line that can be crossed.
Usually, whoever wants to immigrate to the western region must cross the border separating the central region first, then cross the entire central region, then cross the border separating it from the western region. This is easier for him than thinking about crossing the eastern maritime border!
Jabba did not know the reason for the elders's request, but he did it anyway and put in the coordinates for the Fareast Great Line.
And a strange image appeared before him, something that he never thought could be done...
